Steering Column Lock Fault on BMW Vehicles

Steering Column Lock Fault on BMW Vehicles

Many recently produced vehicles have electronic hardware, and unlike earlier models, these vehicles do not have a conventional ignition key. The system used in these keyless-start vehicles is called the Steering Column Lock system.

The Steering Column Lock prevents a parked vehicle from being stolen and also keeps the steering wheel locked.

This lock system releases when it detects that the vehicle door is locked, the key is inside and being used correctly, and the driver wants to start the car.

BMW vehicles and Mini Cooper vehicles also have the Steering Column Lock system.

When it works correctly, this system provides great convenience and security for the driver. However, as with many electronic systems, faults can also occur in the column lock system.

The probability of these faults occurring on their own is quite high.

In case of a fault, the vehicle will not start and the steering wheel locks, and it can only be resolved through external intervention.

With the BMW/Mini/Cooper ELV/ESL Steering Lock Emulator produced by Nitro Mekatronik, it is possible to quickly resolve Steering Column Lock faults on BMW and Mini Cooper vehicles through the ELV module.

The BMW/Mini/Cooper ELV/ESL Steering Lock Emulator works compatibly with E60, E87, E90, and Mini Cooper models.

Installation of this very easy-to-fit device requires only removing the 4-pin connector on the ELV and connecting it to the BMW/Mini/Cooper ELV/ESL Steering Lock Emulator.

Then start the vehicle. If installation was done correctly and the system is working properly, the LED will light once. If there is a problem, the LED will blink 5 times.

In that case, you will need to check the installation or the device again.

After the emulator is installed, the system becomes active without requiring any other hardware or procedure.

By connecting to the CAS ELV module, many operations such as locking and unlocking can be performed.
